"Well here we are, first period English. Where your mind comes to rot." Paul snarked as he pushed open the door to the class. Apple Bloom giggled at Paul's sarcasm as she followed him into class. He went and took his usual seat in the very back of the room where he leaned back and tucked his hat over his eyes.

Apple Bloom stood nervously near the door before cautiously weaving her way through the classroom past the other students to where Paul sat. "Uhhh...Paul?" she nervously asked

Paul lifted his hat from his eyes, "Yeah?...." he inquired

"Would it......be alright if...I sat next to yah today?" she said hesitantly.

He paused for a moment, "Sure......knock yourself out Angel Face." He said jokingly before pulling his hat over his eyes again.

Apple Bloom paused for a moment, thanking Celestia that Paul wasn't looking at her extremely red face. 'Angel Face.....he called me Angel Face.....' she thought trying her best not to squee before promptly sitting at the desk to the right of Paul.

There was about 10 minutes before class started so Apple Bloom decided to try making small talk with Paul. "So........what do ya do for fun?"

"Why you ask?" Paul replied lifting his hat from his eyes.

"No...reason. Just curious." She said cautiously.

"Relax kid, I don't bite...I do plenty of stuff. Usually I'm watching movies at my house, playing something on my computer, smoking a bit of weed, reading, and pretty frequently Joe and I go shooting on the outskirts of your ranch, though not always target shooting, sometimes I manage to bag something for my meat locker." he said candidly

"You.....kill animals?" she said frighteningly.

"Angel Face, I'm an omnivore, that means I eat meat and plants. Not to mention I don't just go popping a cap in any animal that crosses my path, I only kill what I can eat. Then I have it sent to some Griffon Butcher here in Oxton. The way I see it, they're getting off easier with me than if some other predator caught them. Some timber wolf catches a deer, they're chasing the poor bastard down before they knock 'em over, and while it's completely terrified, the wolf reaches down and rips the deer's throat out. With me, it's just a shot to the chest just behind the front legs, quick, painless, and he doesn't even know it's coming." He said irritatingly.

"Oh...ah'm sorry Paul, Ah didn't mean tah offend ya. I was just a bit surprised." She replied apologetically.

"It's alright kid," he said before chuckling a bit, "You should have seen when Fluttershy found out, I swear it looked like she was having an epileptic seizure."

Apple Bloom chuckled at the image of Fluttershy's reaction before putting on a serious face to ask her next question. "Paul.......why did yah help me when Diamond Tiara was botherin' me?"

Paul gave her an incredulous look. "Are you shittin' me? I helped you out because I saw someone who needed help and I wasn't just going to stand there and let Diamond Tiara beat you and watch while her thug got fresh with you. Not to mention I hate that fucking cum guzzling slut with a furious passion."

Apple Bloom recoiled at the harshness of his words, she hated Diamond Tiara, but the way Paul spoke telegraphed a latent well of fury and wrath. "Ah noticed yah seem tah hate Diamond Tiara a lot, more than most ponies ah know. Why is that?" she asked.

"You noticed that huh? Well let me answer your question with a question. You remember how she tried to get fresh with Joe?" He asked. Apple Bloom nodded in reply, she had heard the story through Scootaloo. "Well she tried the same thing with me. Apparently she thinks the new guys in school are her own personal fuck toys....anyway, we got paired up on an assignment for history, we're at my house, and basically she pulled a repeat of what she tried at Joe's place with the banana's and the table bit, what was different was that she came this fucking close to ruining my Father's jacket that I'm wearing here." He said motioning to his coat. "It's one the few things of my parents I still have. Not to mention the fact she also somehow managed to ruin my rug. So at that point I just lose it. I grab her slutty ass off the table and throw her to the ground. I'm holding her by her throat and I pull out my switchblade, and I stick it right under her throat and I tell her 'You ever come near my house, or almost ruin something of my parent's I will slit your fucking throat you whore.' Then I quite literally tossed her out of my house......Damn, that rug really tied the room together."

Apple Bloom paused in shock for a moment before asking, "Is....that why you said Diamond Tiara knew that switchblade of yours all too well?"

"Bingo." Paul said while pointing at her. "It's okay kid, you don't have to worry about me going off like that on you or anybody else. Diamond Tiara's the only one who gets that privilege. Not to mention I wasn't actually going to slit her throat, I just wanted to put the fear of God into her. Same thing in the hall earlier"

This bit of information calmed Apple Bloom, who honestly didn't believe that Paul was actually capable of murdering a pony though his anger did give her pause for moment.

At the same time the teacher came into the class room and stood at the head of the class. As she entered, Paul suddenly bellowed out, "HERE SHE COMES TO WRECK THE DAAAAYYYYYYY!" At this Apple Bloom along with a good portion of the class burst out laughing.

"Very funny Paul...." the teacher remarked sarcastically. "Almost as funny as the fact that you decided to actually show up on time for a change."

"Well you know me ma'am, I go where I please, when I please....and I please where I go." He said teasingly while giving a wink to Apple Bloom who immediately blushed to the point she shared her brother's color in the facial region.

"Anyway......" The teacher said in order to change the focus to the lesson plan for the day. She continued to speak but Paul simply tuned most of it out. He'd pick up the important bits.

Apple Bloom ended up tuning out most of the lecture as well, though not on purpose. While Paul was catching a few Z's, she began to fantasize about him again, this time imagining that they were together out under the star's in her family's apple orchards.

She imagined that they were lying beneath a large apple tree on a hill in the orchard, a patchwork quilt underneath their bodies as he laid on top of her while he slowly yet passionately kissed her.

"Please Paul, I want yah inside me.......I need yah inside me...I want yah to be my first." she begged

"You don't have to twist my arm, Angel Face." He said as he kissed her neck, causing her to shiver with pleasure.

She held her breath in anticipation as the both took off their pants and began to "OH FOR CHRIST'S FUCKING OWN SAKE!"

Apple Bloom snapped back to reality to see Paul having an argument with the teacher over an assignment.

"What's the problem Paul?" the teacher said exasperatingly.

"You know I work alone." he replied sounding very irritated.

"I'm sorry Paul but you're going to have to work with a partner on this assignment. If it's any consolation, you get to pick your partner." the teacher replied.

"Yeah, some fucking consolation..." he said to himself as the teacher continued on.

"What was that about?" Apple Bloom inquired.

"We need to write a paper about a book of our choice and.....we need to work with a partner." he replied. At this a smile lit up across Apple Bloom's face as she hoped that he would pick her as his partner. And her hopes would be fulfilled. "Listen....I may not like working with others but I might as well make the best of a bad situation by choosing somebody that I like. So....do you want to be my partner on this assignment?"

Apple Bloom managed to keep a straight face, "Yes....Yes ah would like that Paul." 'He likes me! HE LIKES ME!!' she thought before squeeing with delight internally. With that the bell rang and students began filing out of the classroom. "So...when should we get together tah start working on this?" she asked.

"I'll check my schedule and get back to you on that. The thing's not due for 3 weeks so we've got time. I know where you live so we can keep in contact easily." he replied. The two teenagers walked out into the hall. "Well Angel Face, this is where we part ways for now. Let me know if you have anymore trouble from Diamond Tiara and her muscle. Though after today, I don't think they'll be bothering you for a while."

"Thank ya Paul, for everything." She said before giving him a large hug. He simply stood there in shock as she squeezed him before promptly letting go after realizing what she had done and having her face once again go nuclear.

"Oh mah gosh, Ah'm so sorry, Ah shouldn't have done that, Ah..." she said before he interrupted her.

"It's okay Angel Face, nothing wrong with a little friendly expression of gratitude. You ever have a problem, don't be afraid to give me a call." He said before giving her a piece of paper with his phone number on it.

"Thank ya, ah will...." she said almost in a trance.

He gave her a curious look before saying, "Alright then, you take care Angel Face. See you in third period biology." and with that he walked off towards his math class with Joe.

As Apple Bloom walked to her next class she held the piece of paper close to her chest and thought, 'HE GAVE ME HIS PHONE NUMBER!!' before letting loose a shriek of delight in her head. The rest of that day Apple Bloom had a noticeable spring in her step as she went about her business.

Author's Note

In case your wondering why Paul's first period English class is so fucking boring, It's because its based off of the British Literature class I had to take Senior year of high school. It was boring as that lecture from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Anybody who's been through their senior year in high school knows what I am talking about. Anybody who hasn't yet, you have been warned.....

I might, MIGHT get enough gumption to actually write sex scenes. I don't know, only time will tell.

Also, two chapters in one night! This took till early morning, you guys better appreciate it. Speaking of which, Holy shit it's almost 5 in the morning, I need to get bed NOW. Later.
